Quick post

For any writers or playwrights in the Chicagoland area, I'd like to point you in the way of the Midwest Literary Festival. Authors abound, and there are plenty of workshops. I'm definitely thinking of going.

In other news, my boss has instituted mandatory unpaid overtime for the next month and a half. Because the production schedule is too hectic. The production schedule that he created. Just when I thought I could sit this place out a while longer...

An update on the rest of my weekend will come later. Because right now I'm just too tired.

Okay, I have no idea what this article means, other than you might be getting legally screwed. It does mention an expert from Chicago-- perhaps the Trib has more information on what is and isn't legal.

I don't think that this will clear any of this up, but you never know. I've got extra good juju working for that map job.

I don't think any of those laws apply to us. Because we're less than a certain number of employees, the management can pretty much make us do whatever, and legalities won't come into play. We don't have the protection offered to us by the Feds because we're below the certain number of workers required for the laws to apply.

I called Nystrom, and they'll be doing first round interviews for another two weeks. So I've got two more weeks of this shit. Thank God I'm going on vacation with deeablo and bigboobedcanuck for a bit of it. >:(
